Sheil Kapadia, of Philly.com, reports Philadelphia Eagles LB Jeremiah Trotter said he believes he will return to the team next season. Trotter said, "I'm very hopeful. I'm being optimistic. Right now those guys have bigger fish to fry. They have the draft, the combine this past weekend. They know the old man, they can deal with me down the road, which is cool with me. ... I know I'm gonna land somewhere. I'm praying and hopeful that I land back with the Eagles."

Adam Schefter, of ESPN, reports the Philadelphia Eagles met with unrestricted free-agent LB Jeremiah Trotter (Buccaneers) Monday, Sept. 28. It is the second time in less than a week that the Eagles met with Trotter.
